Personal:
I grew up in a family of architects and artists. Because the last thing I wanted to do was become a temperamental artist myself, I became a lawyer. After 17 years in the legal profession, my urges to draw that became impossible to ignore. I took figure drawing classes and eventually enrolled in a Bachelor of Visual Arts program, from which I received a degree in 2006.
